Millenium For All

John K. Samson


Tom: G

D                               C        G
This is where we come up with a larger plan
D                               C        G
This is where we study for the nurse exam
D                               C        G
This is where we spend a part of every day
D                               C        G
Thinking in a language that they tried to take away
Em                                C
This is where the sad lamp on the second floor
D
Leads us to a winter afternoon

[Chorus]
G         D               Em           C
Here is a branch where we sing out the call
C     D        G
Millennium for all

[Verse 2]
D                               C        G
This is where we test out our replacement knees
D                               C        G
This is where we're knitting mitts for refugees
D                               C        G
This is where we medicate in bathroom stalls
D                               C        G
This is where we call home from a payphone down the hall
Em                                C
This is where we work the circulation desk
D
While counting out a haiku in our head

[Chorus]
G         D               Em           C
Here is the branch where we sing out the call
C     D        G
Millennium for all

[Verse 3]
D                               C        G
This is where we worry over breaking news
D                               C        G
This is where we read a hundred Nancy Drews
D                               C        G
This is where we're difficult and can't sit still
D                               C        G
This is where we come in from the "feels like with the wind chill"
Em                                C
This is where we find the hour of sleep we lost
D
Wake up knowing what we need to say

[Chorus]
G         D               Em           C
Here is a branch where we sing out the call
C     D        G
Millennium for all


G         D               Em           C
Here is a branch where we sing out the call
C     D        Em
Millennium for all
C     D        G
Millennium for all
